This is just like the Emergency Alert System for TV & Radio.
The frequencies utilized by cell phone companies belong to the government
(public), and case law states the public has a right to be warned about
emergencies.
I am not a fan of this administration or that liberal dressed like a
conservative mayor of NYC Bloomberg. However, let's be practical folks.
Something like this might have mitigated the damage on 9-11, the Gulf Coast
during Katrina, or even in Joplin recently.

If something like this bothers you that much, give up your cell phone(s) and
or call/write your Congressional delegation. www.senate.gov and
www.house.gov
Put your time into something worth writing about and cross check ALL news
sources before getting too wound up over something.
Be safe,
Tony

Subject: Badges - Obama Assumes Ultimate "Texting" Powers
Very quietly yesterday, the federal government announced a new "PLAN"
that gives President Obama "texting" powers over all U.S. cell
phones. Under the Federal Communications Commission "PLAN" (Personal
Localized Alerting Network), beginning next year cell phones "will be
required to be fitted with special chips to receive the alerts,"
reports the Telegraph. Local and state alerts will be able to be
blocked by users, but not texts from the
"Texter-In-Chief."
